At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ren took Mikasa and the two walked together to the prison on the outskirts of the western part of the royal capital.

On both sides of the road, some leafy toons and maple poplars are planted as street trees, and occasionally you can see a fine-leaved banyan tree in the yard.

According to Ymir, this is just an island called Parady, and thinking back to the geography in his head, Wren thinks that this is probably a subtropical monsoon climate, but he doesn't know if there are also seven continents and four oceans.

Glancing at the somewhat old red scarf around Mikasa's neck, Wren helplessly spread his hands: "I said, on such a hot day, why do you still have to tie a scarf, isn't it hot?" ”

Mikasa glanced at Ren, the two of them actually got along for a long time during the training period, but almost every time they didn't talk more than half a sentence.

It's not surprising that if it wasn't Alan who saved Mikasa back then, Mikasa probably wouldn't have treated someone with Alan's character.

Mikasa reached out and untied the scarf slightly, "This scarf is important to me, you should know it." ”

"yes, I know, I just don't quite understand why you're so attached to Alan." Wren was a little puzzled, he really didn't understand this, even if Eren saved her and was the person she valued the most, Mikasa was too obsessed with Alan.

Mikasa said softly, "This is the purpose of my existence, and it is the motivation for me to live." ”

Shrugging, Wren said bluntly: "I think I should remind you that Alan doesn't seem to want to be protected by you all the time, he doesn't want to be under anyone's wing.

I don't know if you feel it, but sometimes he gets bored with you, not because he hates you, but because he cares too much. ”

Mikasa was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head slightly and was silent, and Ren was not polite: "If you think I'm talking nonsense, then you shouldn't have heard it."

I'm more selfish, anyway, I think that a person can only take care of others if he takes care of himself first. Don't worry so much, he's not a three-year-old child, so he doesn't need you to be a father and a mother at the same time. ”

Mikasa turned his head to stare at Wren, his eyes were not good, and he spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I'll just shut up and stop talking nonsense." But you don't have to expect anything, there are few people left in the Ackerman family, except for Kenny, and Captain Levi, whose mother seems to be Ackerman too. ”

Mikasa didn't reply, she already knew about the commander, and she just wanted to know something about her father and family from Kenny.

As for Wren, if it weren't for Alan and Amin to stop him, there were a few times when the two would definitely fight.

Without saying anything all the way, the two came to the gate of the prison, and the two central gendarmes immediately saluted: "Hello sir!" ”

Wren currently has a high military rank, one rank as the Commander of the Survey Corps. As for Ymir, her official position is the same as that of Alwin, and her rocket-like promotion can be described as a step to the sky, and Marquis Derek even awarded her the title of knighthood in order to raise her value.

I have to say that if it weren't for the sudden strength of those nobles, the queen might have been a puppet, of course, Ymir and the nobles were just huddled together to keep warm and use each other.

Nodding, Wren motioned for them to open the door, and Mikasa stepped inside, heading straight for the throatcutter's room.

"Hey, Uncle Kenny, is the prison meal delicious?" Wren looked at Kenny, who was wearing a black and white striped prison uniform and looked good.

Kenny was doing well in prison, and Captain Levi came to see him a few times, learned that it was his uncle, and asked Ymir to have someone take care of him.

Glancing at Wren and examining Mikasa for a while, Kenny grinned and mocked: "Yo, you have successfully hugged the queen's thigh, and you can show off your strength in front of me, I have to say, you are the same as me back then." ”

Wren sneered: "Ha, you're right, I'm a scumbag now." But I'm not here today to catch up and see the person next to me? She is Mikasa Ackerman.

Now we want to know the secrets of the Ackermans. ”

Kenny pondered for a moment: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, many people in the wall are actually one ethnic group, but there are also a few other ethnic groups, such as the Ackerman clan and the Oriental clan.

At that time, the two clans opposed the idea of royal government, and were not affected by the power of the royal giants to modify their memory, so they were persecuted and had to hide in remote areas or deep mountains and forests. ”

Speaking of this, Kenny laughed: "Until I joined the Central Military Police Corps, the persecution of the Ackerman clan stopped, I was actually surprised to see you, I originally thought that the Ackerman clan was dead. ”

"So, we can go to the army openly, and we have to thank you." Wren said lightly: "Then what is the strength of the Ackerman clan that is far beyond ordinary people? ”

Looking at Wren and Mikasa, Kenny shook his head: "I don't know very well, the Ackerman clan was originally a samurai who served the royal family.

Have you ever felt like you were electrocuted? As long as Ackerman has had this experience, he will become very strong. ”

Mikasa nodded, and Wren pondered, not only did he have, but he had twice, although the second time was far less intense than the first.

The Akkerman bloodline awakening is not entirely related to "confession".

Kenny said that he had awakened his blood long ago (before the assassination of Uli Reis), otherwise he would not have been able to wipe the necks of more than a hundred gendarmes.

Levi is too, awakening when he was in the underground streets of the royal capital, including when Yuan Ren escaped from the bear's mouth, which also inspired the power of the bloodline.

Mikasa is a special case, she woke up and killed the last trafficker, and she didn't actually recognize the Lord at that time, but her parents had just died, and her heart was broken, and Eren wrapped a scarf around her, giving her the faith to live.

Kenny, who believes in "violence", is completely defeated by U with the power of a more powerful giant, and his faith collapses, and he begs for mercy in fear, but Uli kneels down to apologize to him and "convinces" him.

The commander made the wrong choice, and his friends Fran and Isabel died tragically, and his faith collapsed, and Captain Alvin stepped forward and asked him to make another choice.

As for Wren, he came into this world, shaken, frustrated, but not to the point of a mental breakdown.

Even without mentioning the crossing and the divine fighting spirit, he believed in power, but no one had beaten him and then helped him regain his faith, so he is still a wild Ackerman.

Kenny tells a few things about himself and his family, and tells Rene and Mikasa about their father's youth.

Finally, Kenny smiled: "Can you tell me what you believe in and who you fight for unless you dwell on something, such as power, wealth, power, wine, women, etc.?" ”

After a moment of silence, Mikasa replied, "Fight for your family." ”

Kenny was noncommittal and stared at Wren: "What about you, little ghost?" ”

'Karen, if you don't know the reason to fight, then choose to fight for yourself, it's not that great, really. ’

Laughing at himself, Wren smiled: "I said for love and justice, do you believe it?" ”

Kenny laughed when he heard this: "Kid, don't be funny. ”

Wren had a sad face: "Yes, I'm actually very selfish, I fight for myself. ”

Kenny was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed: "It is said that for a long time, the Ackerman clan has been fighting for others, and now someone finally chooses to fight for themselves, which is good." ”

Without saying a word, Kenny watched Ren and Mikasa leave.

"Should I call Sister Ju?" Out of prison, Ren and Mikasa walk in a suburban park.

Mikasa turned her head to stare at him, "Don't force it, you can see that you don't like me very much." I also think it's strange that usually you are normal, but sometimes you are very strange, like a different person.

Some of your experiences seem to have never been talked about, and I'm curious about what makes you who you are. ”

Wren looked up at the eternal blue sky, the stars had not disappeared during the day, they were still out of reach, and his face was complicated: "Because there is nothing to say, who would want to hear the wailing of a defeated dog?"

You may not know how pretentious I was at the beginning, and even when I realized that I was an ordinary person, this thought often came up again.

Do you know? People are like this, even if they understand a certain principle of how to behave in the world, it does not mean that they can change themselves according to it, and people may still repeat the same mistakes. ”

Wren raised his hand: "The people of the Wall Sect say that arrogance is the first of the seven deadly sins, not because arrogant people don't believe in God, but because arrogant people, arrogant human beings, obviously do wrong, they will also think that others do not understand, it is the world that is wrong." ”

He turned his head to look directly at Mikasa and said coldly, "I think I might be going to die, not long after." ”

Mikasa hesitated slightly: "You don't actually need to participate in the recapture of the Wall of Mary in two months. Now you can be a central gendarme. ”

Wren whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm so hopeless. ”

His expression became cold: "Never back down, never back down." Onward, onward! Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of it, it is an abyss of destruction! Even if you are broken, you must move forward without flinching! ”

He looked at Mikasa, who was stunned, and laughed, a little relieved and a little nostalgic: "This is what I learned in those years, aren't you curious about what I went through?" Nothing, nothing to talk about.

I was but one of countless people who died. ”

Without waiting for Mikasa to say anything, he walked away, his back was extremely firm, and the feeling of whim came again, but even so, he would not retreat.

Two words, come to war!!
